12 Thoughts College Freshmen Have On The First Day of Class

But, like, where am I going?

12 Thoughts College Freshmen Have On The First Day of Class
Ashley Sekul

1. This feels weird.

You walked all this way and didn't have to make a pit stop at your locker. It feels like everyone knows you're a confused freshman but really they're all trying not to be late for their 9 am's too.



2. Where’s my mom with her camera?

The first day of school just isn't the same without a quick photo in your front yard taken by mom.



3. Was I supposed to buy the book for class? Do I bring the book to class?

Text books are confusing. What classes actually need them? Should I even buy the book and why do they cost so much?



4. Oh my gosh, I don’t know where I’m going.

You pull up your campus map in hopes you can find the weirdly named building. Yet, you end up getting lost and feeling hopeless.



5. Wait what time does class even start?

Some days classes start at 8 and other days they start at 10. Keeping track of which day it is proves to be one of the bigger challenges.



6. Who do I sit with?

Odds are you know zero people in your class. You don’t know if you should sit in the front and look too eager or the back and look like you still have a case of senioritis. The middle is always a good call.



7. Maybe I should sit next to that cute boy/ girl.

Then you think that not only will you try to make friends in your class, but you will be the girl or guy that meets their future spouse on the first day of school.



8. I hope we don’t have to introduce ourselves.

In high school, you always had to do that name, favorite color, fun fact game. Here’s to hoping college classes aren’t the same way.



9. Why am I sweating so much?

Walking to class is excruciating at first because of the heat and possibly even hills that your campus has. Who knew a small journey could make you sweat so much?



10. Ugh, I’m lost again.

And so you head to your second class finding yourself lost again. It happens.



11. When do I eat lunch? Where do I eat lunch?

It’s all up to you. Better make a friend in your 10 am so you have someone to eat lunch with.



12. I’m ready for a nap..college kids take those right?

You’ve struggled through 3 fifty minute classes, finding a table in the dining hall, and your Fitbit has already hit your 10,000 step goal. It’s definitely time for a nap.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
